How am I going to get the water lines to the shower valve????
The drawing is wrong. There’s a ¾†plywood floor between the 2x10 header and the wall shown in green. The wall hasn’t been installed yet. See photo.
My original floor joists, at the top of the first photo and shown in red in the drawing, ran east-west (only one shown in the drawing but there are 4). When I cut them off to put in a header, I didn’t do a very good job and cut them off crooked. To straighten them up, I had to shorten them (twice). But, I had to build the shower wall, shown in green, where it is shown. So, I just added two more 2x10s so that there are four of them sistered together.
When I put in the double 2x6 floor joist, in the foreground, I started from the other end of the room. On 16†centers, the last two ended up 1.5†from the 2x10 quadruple header. So, I just sistered three of them together. Looks great; hell for stout.
Then I put in the floor and glued and screwed it down.
But now I don't know how to route the supply lines without lots of twists and turns.
The door on the left is to a coat closet. The shower will will be a the back of coat closet. I guess I can come up through the floor of the closet and then into the wall but that doesn't seem like a good idea. Are twists and turns a problem????
